Programatically getting my AssemblyVersion

[herc]

How does one get the AssemblyVersion of the currently excuting
assembly? At first glance, it would appear that this would give you
the AsseblyName which will give you the version:

string appName =
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.Applicati onName;
AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(appName);

But the appname is <name>.vshost.exe. Is there any way to find out the
name of the assembly minus the vshost?

The answer:

string appName = Assembly.GetAssembly(this.GetType()).Location;
AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(appName);
return assemblyName.Version.ToString();

>string appName = Assembly.GetAssembly(this.GetType()).Location;

AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(appName);
return assemblyName.Version.ToString();

Or just

return this.GetType().Assembly.GetName().Version.ToString ();

The answer:

string appName = Assembly.GetAssembly(this.GetType()).Location;
AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(appName);
return assemblyName.Version.ToString();

A shorter way:

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName.Version.To String()
